Today's post may well be a bit on the short side, but even so, it opens with good news! I had sent B. a text when I got back to DSM a couple weeks ago, to say that I was both back in town, and back online. Never heard back. Nonetheless, I've been working a lot, fitting in the music when I can, doing small things to put a few pieces in place. That way, when things did get started, I'd have something to start with. The text came today, said she was "still on board." Full steam ahead begins now. Also of note: I'm seeing The Decembrists in April in Iowa City. Justin Townes Earle opens for them. And for the record, I'm also pondering going back to Iowa City eight days later to see The New Pornographers and The Walkmen at the same venue. Tomorrow I start in on the ever expanding list of songs with the acoustic, and a notebook, and see what I can do with each progression.
Okay, so Dave's voice was kinda shot last night and the show was still epic. Here's what they played: Run All My Life Learn to Fly The Pretender The Sky Is a Neighborhood Rope ( with solo's ) Sunday Rain My Hero These Days Walk Under My Wheels / Jump / Another One Bites the Dust / Blitzkrieg Bop ( w/ band introductions ) Big Me Congregation Breakout Times Like These This Is a Call Under Pressure ( Queen cover) Monkey Wrench Breakdown ( Tom Petty cover) Best of You Dirty Water Let There Be Rock ( AC/DC cover) Everlong And here is a little bit of "Big Me," just for fun:
